“…Vogel et al . () provide a detailed overview of article characteristics associated with publication and citation success. Some academics argue that articles published in top‐ranked journals tend to build on pre‐existing knowledge rather than promote innovativeness.…”

“…Several countries, including New Zealand, Australia, the United Kingdom and Hong Kong, have national research assessment exercises to evaluate the quality of universities’ research outputs. Journal rankings are often used as a proxy for research quality, which influences academic performance evaluations and publication strategies (Macdonald and Kam, ; Northcott and Linacre, ; Vogel et al ., ).…”

This study examines recent accounting research published in 10 journals led by New Zealand and Australia based Qualitative Research in Accounting and Management. The paper identifies the most cited recent articles (2015)(2016)(2017), and the most prolific authors, universities and geographical regions. It then reveals trends in research areas and relevance of recent accounting articles. The paper discusses the importance of the Australian Business Deans Council journal quality list in facilitating novel and relevant research, and recommends the integration of citation metrics into its ratings methodology.

“…Accordingly, many universities use the Australian Business Dean's Council (ABDC) journal ranking list as a litmus test for research quality (de Villiers and Guthrie et al, 2019). As a result, the ABDC list is seen to be one of the most biased lists for recognising qualitative research or quantitative research (Vogel et al, 2017). Hence, while there is institutional pressure to publish in the top journals, and those journals mainly use quantitative methodologies, there is no surprise that this has been reflected previously in journals aspiring to increase their performance and recognition as outlets for quality accounting and finance research.…”

This special issue dedicated to qualitative accounting research shows the commitment of Accounting & Finance to support and publish qualitative research. This introductory piece explains the rationale behind this commitment and recounts the process followed with this special issue, before introducing the papers published in it. The first paper in the special issue, coauthored by De Villiers, Dumay and Maroun, will be of interest to a large cross-section of accounting researchers, even those with a quantitative bent, because it dispels some myths around qualitative research, and it sets a research agenda that others may pursue.

“…Despite the progressing debate about what constitutes scholarly impact nowadays (e.g., Aguinis, Shapiro, Antonacopoulou, & Cummings, ; Osterloh & Frey, ) and corresponding criticism of academic ranking systems (e.g., Adler & Harzing, ; Renwick, Breslin, & Price, ), the traditional assessment of a journal's impact and reputation remains based on its rankings. Vogel et al () differentiate three types of rankings according to methodological approaches: (1) citation‐based rankings, (2) expert‐based rankings and (3) hybrids of the aforementioned. A comprehensive compendium of 13 journal rankings relevant to management and organization studies is published and frequently updated by Anne‐Wil Harzing on her website (), which lists CIM as one of 17 journals in the ‘innovation’ subject area.…”

More than a quarter century of Creativity and Innovation Management: The journal's characteristics, evolution, and a look ahead

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

When this journal was founded in 1992 by Tudor Rickards and Susan Moger, there was no academic outlet available that addressed issues at the intersection of creativity and innovation. From zero to 1,163 records, from the new kid on the block to one of the leading journals in creativity and innovation management has been quite a journey, and we would like to reflect on the past 28 years and the intellectual and conceptual structure of Creativity and Innovation Management (CIM). Specifically, we highlight milestones and influential articles, identify how key journal characteristics evolved, outline the (co‐)authorship structure, and finally, map the thematic landscape of CIM by means of a text‐mining analysis. This study represents the first systematic and comprehensive assessment of the journal's published body of knowledge and helps to understand the journal's influence on the creativity and innovation management community. We conclude by discussing future topics and paths of the journal as well as limitations of our approach.
